Abstract
A drone is defined as any airborne vehicle that receives remote instructions from a controller or relies on software for autonomous flight. Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), perform tasks ranging from routine to highly hazardous. Initially designed for military and aerospace purposes, drones have gained widespread acceptance due to their heightened safety and efficiency benefits. Operating without an onboard pilot, drones eliminate the risk to human life in combat zones and can sustain flight without the need for rest as long as there is fuel available.Presently, advanced drones find applications across a diverse spectrum, including delivery services, law enforcement, surveillance of flood-prone areas, and numerous others highlighted in this report. The technology outlined in this report caters to various fields falling under the umbrella of Mechatronics, encompassing mechanical, electrical, and digital components. This project focuses on coming up with and developing a general-purpose drone that can be modified to serve a particular purpose
